There are three contact details below the email: an email address, an MSN account number, and a phone number. I checked it, and this phone number is very weird, because at the beginning of the international area code, I can't find which country it represents in the yellow pages of the phone!

Could it be an encrypted number?

Obviously, the email contact was too slow and the long-distance international call was too troublesome, because my home phone did not have long-distance international, so I immediately logged in to MSN and contacted the MSN account on the email.

This contact was very smooth, without any waiting, the other party immediately responded!

"Hello, Mr. Chen Yang, I am the customer service staff of our company. Because you are a user from China, the company entrusts me to provide services to you, and you can choose to communicate with me in English or Chinese. ”

This sentence was sent twice by the other party, once in Chinese and again in English.

"Chinese." My choice is undoubtedly clear.

“ok！ If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. ”

I thought about it for a moment and asked my first question: "Does this ring, when I'm not wearing it, work on me too?" ”

Then I listed some of my recent encounters and gave them a brief rundown.

Then, I waited almost a full five minutes for a reply from the other party - I suddenly regretted that the phone at home was not enabled for international calls.

"I beg your pardon for my Chinese input being a bit slow...... Our answer is as follows: Theoretically, a ring will not bring you good luck when you are not wearing it. This means that when you remove the ring, you won't be able to get the ring's luck boost. However, since you are using our trial product, the use of the ring without a measuring device may cause side effects of the ring, that is, your use of the ring will increase your luck that does not follow the rules, affecting your luck balance, and bringing some ...... Other inconveniences. We call them 'side effects'. This is beyond the control of the ring, so even if you have removed the ring, you will still suffer some undesirable results due to the wrong use of the ring before. ”

I sighed helplessly and wrote, "I have experienced all this you said...... The side effects, in particular, have impressed me enough! ”

"Sorry for the trouble." The other person replied, "You can remove the ring so that it will no longer affect your life." ”

Extirpation?

It's easy to say......

I sneered in my heart!

When a person really feels the magic of this ring...... Who will resist such temptation?

Think of the good fortune that the ring brings me! Those magical experiences!

I don't think anyone would be willing to give up, right? Anyone who has experienced these things with me...... Well, as long as this person is not crazy, his only thought now is: how can he find a way to use this ring "correctly" and without causing side effects!

If such an effect can really be achieved......

God, how wonderful would life be?!

More and more, I feel that this ring is like a drug! It's really hard to give up after you've been drawn to it!

"I'm not going to give up on your product, I'm just trying to find a way to use it properly!" I sent it over.

I still haven't said a word in my heart: it's a pity that your cheapest official products are in the millions! (And not in RMB)! Even if I go to sell my own offal, I can't afford your products!

"Then, you can only choose to buy the company's official products." His return was exactly as I expected.

I thought about it for a moment and said tentatively: "I would like to ask, does your company provide the replacement of some easily consumable parts?" I'll just give you an example: let's say I bought a computer, but after using it for a while, the keyboard breaks down and I need to replace it...... A computer company can't ask me to spend a lot of money on a computer again, right? ”

The other party's reaction was quick: "You mean you want to...... Why not buy a separate measure? ”

I sat down in front of the computer and laughed silently, tapping on the keyboard: "Is that okay?" ”

"I'm sorry, but I have to say: no."

Depend on......

I was silent for a while, sitting in front of the computer in a daze.

Am I really going to have to find a way to buy a full-fledged product? Millions of dollars!

How do I get it? Going to rob a bank? To sell drugs? Go smuggling??

Suddenly, an interesting idea came to me.

If, under normal circumstances, a person can have millions of dollars, he is already a very rich person, right? If it is a person who is already very rich, then this person should have achieved fame and fame, and he should have everything...... Well, under normal circumstances, he doesn't need such a luck ring at all.

What can this ring bring to people?

Isn't it money, power, beauty......

A person who can spend millions to buy a ring is already a big man who has achieved fame, so he must already have such things as money, power, and beauty......

I don't know what kind of psychology I have, but the ghost sent this thought to me!

Now, it's the other party's turn to fall silent!

For five minutes, the other party did not send another word.

Just when I almost thought that he had left me alone and gone offline, the other party suddenly sent a message.

"Thank you for your advice."

The note is very ordinary, but I don't know why, but I feel that the other person is very depressed.

After another minute, a new message came: "Mr. Chen Yang, I don't know if it's now, can I call you?" Is your phone number as: 8625xxxxx" (hehe, 86 is the area code of China, 25 is the area code of the city where the dance is located, and the number behind it is hidden.) ）

To be honest, I was a little flattered and hurriedly knocked one: "yes" over.

A minute later my phone rang, I picked it up, and locked the door.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen Yang." The voice on the phone is very clear, and the Chinese bite is also very standard, but the tone is a little blunt: "I'm Raymond." We just talked about it on the Internet. ”

I didn't say anything, just an "um".

The other party suddenly lowered his voice, as if sighing: "What you just said just now touched me deeply...... I think that's probably one of the biggest reasons why this project failed. ”

I still said "um" and didn't say anything else.

"Mr. Chen Yang, in fact, I am not the company's customer service staff, I am one of the team members involved in the development of this product......"

"Oh?" I was really surprised: "You mean, you participated in the development and manufacture of this ring?" ”

"Yes." The tone was calm.

I said, "I must say, I admire your invention very much!" It's amazing! ”

"Oh!" Raymond's tone became much more active, and his speed of speech increased a lot: "Oh, actually, we have encountered a lot of difficulties...... Overall, the reason why the ring itself can change the luck of the human body is because we have stumbled upon an unknown metallic substance, which is very rare on Earth, we have only found a small part in one place, and we even suspect that this substance is not from Earth, but a meteorite from outer space or something...... In conclusion, after our research, it was found that this metallic substance can produce an effect similar to that of the spoken, which affects the human brain's electrical waves...... In the end, step by step, the true nature of the substance of luck was unraveled......"

The guy was rambling about R&D, but I wasn't much interested in that, so I interrupted him, "Oh, that's amazing...... At the same time, I was surprised that a full member of the R&D team would contact me personally. ”

"Because I'm curious." Raymond's voice was sincere on the phone: "Maybe you don't believe what I say...... In fact, you are the first user to contact the company since the official launch of our project! You are the first, and so far the only. So...... I'm very curious because you're the only one who contacts us, so I contact you personally to hear from you about our products. ”

Honestly, I understand his approach very well. It's like many online authors who want to get a reader's evaluation of a novel right after writing it, whether it's good or bad.

"But I'm weird." I asked, "Why am I the only user contacting you?" What about other users? None of you follow customers for surveys? ”

Raymond on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, and then his voice was deeper, as if a little hoarse, and as if a little unspeakable:

"This ...... Actually, I shouldn't have said it in the first place, but ...... It's okay now...... Let's be honest, so far, there are only two people in the world who use our products, including you. In other words, we only sold two rings in total. He said this with a somewhat depressed mood: "Billions of dollars were spent, and only two people used our results...... This is simply our greatest shame! ”

"Two ...... Two? I was stunned.

"Yes, only two! And you're just using a sample, and the other user, even though he's using a high-end formal product, doesn't seem to believe in the ring's work at all, it's just ...... It's a bit ashamed to say that when our salesperson came to see him, this generous rich man didn't really believe in our research and development, but he was a generous and enthusiastic gentleman who sponsored all kinds of scientific research, so he funded one of our most exclusive products, but in fact, he just paid for us, and as for the ring he bought, it seems that he never used it. I guess it's in one of his jewelry boxes forever. ”

"So......" I smiled wryly.

Before I could say it, Raymond had already said to himself: "So, realistically, you are the only customer who has 'used' our products. When he said this, he began to smile bitterly: "Fortunately, your words just now suddenly woke me up, and I finally understood why our products could not be sold...... Because the price of our product is too high, but the people who can afford to sell it don't need to ...... at all."

To be honest, I want to laugh.

This Raymond is probably the kind of scientific nerd or something.

I'll admit that the one I'm guessing is probably ...... There is really a certain possibility......

But I'm willing to bet on my head that most, no, probably the vast majority of people reject this product, for the only reason: they don't believe it at all!

It's obvious!

If it's you, one day someone comes to the door, knocks on the door and says to you, they have a magical ring to sell you, as long as you wear this ring, you can be lucky, and the sky is full of good fortune......

Do you believe it or not?

Hell you believe in it! I'm afraid most people will still report jǐng!

"So...... What about my requirements? Can you think about it......" I cautiously brought up the topic again.

"Oh......" Raymond's voice on the other end of the line was a little embarrassed, and he carefully worded it, "I think I have to explain further...... In fact, I am contacting you today mainly to satisfy my spiritual curiosity. As for your request...... Let's be honest, don't say you just need to buy a gauge...... Even if you really have enough money to ask for a whole set of official products...... I'm afraid I'll have to say 'no' to you!" ”

"Why!" Seeing that my hopes were about to be dashed, I immediately became anxious!

"No why." Raymond smiled bitterly, "You should have heard what I just said...... I said it doesn't matter now. Actually, I mean, our project has been completely suspended, we have consumed too much money and we have not benefited much, so the institute has stopped our project, and we have decided to invest our resources and financial resources into new invention research projects! Because the project was stopped, we didn't continue to produce the product. In other words, there are only two products in the world right now, one in your possession and the other in the rich man's house. ”

"......" I was speechless.

"I'm sorry for the bad news." Raymond's voice was guilty: "But to thank you for satisfying my curiosity, I can give you a kind suggestion that may help you." ”

"Oh?"

"Hmmm! That is true...... The rich gentleman who owned the other ring, he was a very generous gentleman, and at the same time a collector of works of art, who was happy to exchange his collections with art lovers from all over the world. Your only hope is to find a way to get that ring from him...... Or, the Gauge! ”

"Isn't there any other way?"

"Nope." Raymond sighed.

I thought about it: "What about ...... His ring is much, much more advanced than my sample, right? What about the effect? Isn't it more powerful? ”

"Of course!" Raymond's voice was solemn: "The sample you are wearing is only mixed with a very, very small amount of that special metal, but the most expensive high-end products are mixed with much more of this metallic substance!" At the same time, it will also promote the human brain to absorb more elements of luck! ”

"What will happen to that?" I'm a little curious.

"The effect ......" Raymond cleared his throat and said quickly: "You have read the descriptions in many novels that are currently popular in the East: the spirit of a king, the domineering eyes, the others have a tiger body, bow to the ground, beautiful women flock to their arms, and then the wheel of history rolls forward...... That's pretty much it. ”

Wow, this Raymond is definitely a China expert! Even the YY novel routines that are now popular on the Internet are so familiar!

"Alright, Mr. Chen Yang...... The other ring, the generous rich man, whose name was Mr. Herode, the famous king of ships in all Europe, I think you must know the name. ”

To be honest, I've been completely disappointed. It seems that the measuring device is not available, but I purely subconsciously asked: "Mr. Raymond, I am curious, such a miraculous scientific research team like yours to create miracles...... What's next for you? I'm curious to know what kind of miracle you're going to create, like this ring......"

"Oh! This is a newly discovered substance, but it slows down the aging of the human body, and we speculate that if it goes well, it can increase the life expectancy of humans by three times! ”

"Oh!" I was shocked! What a tough bunch of science maniacs!

But then Raymond's voice was a little frustrated: "But we are facing a difficult situation at the moment...... This substance actually slows down the growth rate of the human body by a factor of three, which means that it takes the human body three times longer to develop and grow than before. For example, under normal circumstances, a man is basically physiologically mature at the age of fifteen and can reproduce offspring...... However, after using this drug, although his life expectancy has tripled, he will not reach maturity until he is forty-five years old......"

No way...... What a bunch...... Science maniac!

Three times the lifespan, three times the development time......

Well, think about it, a woman who is already thirty years old mentally aged...... But it looks like a little Lori who is only ten years old...... It's evil to think about......

I hung up the phone and turned off the computer, and when I had dinner, I was still depressed.

When two young beauties in the family asked me why, I sighed and replied, "I have a huge safe, but I don't have a key......"

•；

When I went to the company the next day, my desk had already been set up, and it was placed outside Fang Nan's office, not far from Qian Pan's desk, but a partition was set up in the middle.

I have a complete set of office supplies, computers, folders, phones, etc., etc., on my desk......

To be honest, I actually feel quite fresh and novel.

Because I've never worked in a company! Never worked in an office building! At the age of 18, I went into a nightclub serving dishes, where I worked from a waiter to a supervisor for five years! That's the only job I've had so far.

Now, looking at my desk, computer, phone, and folder in front of me, I am faintly excited.

The only regret is that I feel a little idle.

I am Fang Nan's personal assistant, I am not even a staff member of the company, I am responsible for Fang Nan alone, and I do not interfere in the company's work.

I sat at my desk all morning looking at my computer, and after the initial novelty wore off, I could only pass the time by watching the news online......

At noon, Fang Nan finally looked for me. She called me into the office on a telephone pager.

Today, Fang Nan wore a set of high-lapel sweaters that looked much more lively, with a brown pleated skirt underneath, and she didn't even wear makeup, to be honest, this outfit looked like an elegant girl in her twenties, adding three points of green chūn vitality to her charm.

Even though I knew that this woman was at least thirty years old, my heart still beat wildly for a while when I saw her wearing this dress and a faint smile on her face!

Fang Nan seems to have forgotten the unpleasantness of my trouble yesterday.

"You accompany me to a place, I'm going to a charity auction, there's a party after the auction, I need a male companion, you should be able to dance, right?"

Obviously, Fang Nan had more than one car, and in the parking lot downstairs, I took her key and started an Audi A8 with champagne sè, and then drove to the downstairs of the building to wait for Fang Nan to go downstairs.

I waited for more than ten minutes, and when I was bored, I picked up a very beautiful printed booklet that was placed on the passenger seat next to me.

"Charity auction catalogue?" I muttered, then flipped through the roster.

Obviously, this charity auction is a gathering of rich people, and the things auctioned are some rare antiques, or antique porcelain paintings donated by some celebrities, and the cheapest auction estimates the starting reserve price is at least six digits!

I looked at it casually, and suddenly my eyes were attracted to something......

After looking at it for two seconds, my breathing started to shorten, and my eyes became hot!

On the album of jīng beauty, there is a picture of a ring printed, the ring shape is very chic jīng beauty, it is inlaid with a circle of fine broken diamonds, and the ring is a double-layer design, the inner and outer double circles can be turned, just on the middle of the mezzanine, inlaid with a large diamond, a few carats!

The following introductory text reads: The most famous jeweler in Europe, XXXX, personally designed the style ............, thanks to the generous donation of the famous European ship tycoon, the honorable ship king, Mr. Herode............

Ring, Herodes, King of the Ships...... Ring......

Ring!! This is an "official product"!!
